As I continue working through Mood’s premium THCa lineup, I’ve been searching for a strain that perfectly balances mental uplift with deep relaxation. My recent experience with Gush Mintz suggests it's a great example of such a cannabis strain.

Some strains provide a hard-hitting body high, while others keep things light and energizing—but every now and then, you find a cultivar that hits both marks perfectly, delivering pure euphoria.

That’s exactly what Gush Mintz strain did for me. Mood's Gush Mintz Flower is a cross between Kush Mintz and Durban Gushers for a delicious flavor that reminds me of classic Kush Mints and other comparable strains.

The sleepy head buzz kept me engaged while the slow-rolling body effects settled in like a cooling wave of relaxation. I'm the type of person whose mind naturally runs with negative or racing thoughts throughout the day—it's just who I am. I'm not saying it would do this for others, but when I smoked this strain, my mind chilled out and quieted down for a delightful window of time.

When I embarked on testing it out, I set up a cozy night filled with creative writing, lo-fi beats, and a flavor-packed snack that satisfied my growing appetite—because if there’s one thing about Gush Mintz, it definitely makes you hungry.

Gush Mintz comes from Mood's highest tier of flower. Shop Mood's Top Shelf selection of THCa flower to find this delicious strain and many like it.

Trying the Gush Mintz Strain

As soon as I unsealed the fresh pack from Mood, I was hit with a bold mix of minty freshness, sweet citrus, and spicy diesel. The cooling mint notes stood out first, followed by a punch of sweet cherry and an earthy, peppery finish.

The buds were dense, sticky, and covered in frosty bright-white trichomes, with deep forest green and purple hues intertwined with vibrant orange hairs.

Breaking them apart released even more of that signature Mintz aroma, filling the air with crisp menthol and rich, gassy undertones.

I packed my bong, took a deep inhale, and let the flavors coat my palate. The inhale was smooth and creamy, like fresh-baked cookies, while the exhale was sharp and tangy, leaving behind a lingering mint-citrus coolness.

Gush Mintz (or Gush Mints) Taste, Smell, Look

Taste

Gush Mintz is rich and full-bodied, blending minty cookies, bold cherry, and spicy diesel. It all came together in what I would describe as a tangy menthol with a bright undercurrent likely brought on by its limonene terpenes.

The inhale was smooth and creamy, while the exhale delivered a cooling, peppery bite with a lingering minty freshness.

Smell

The aroma was a mix of dessert and fuel, combining Kush Mintz’s crisp menthol and Gushers’ fruity, candy-like sweetness.

Breaking apart the buds intensified the cherry and earthy diesel notes, making it an immediately distinguished strain.

Look

Gush Mintz’s dense, resin-coated nugs shimmer under the light, with deep greens and purples contrasted by crystal-white trichomes and burnt-orange pistils weaving through.

The thick dusting of trichomes gives it a frosted, almost sugar-dusted appearance that would elevate any Christmas morning.

Potency & Effects

In my experience, the Gush Mintz strain creeps up gradually, starting with a euphoric, sleepy buzz that makes everything feel brighter and more enjoyable.

The first wave of effects hit my head almost instantly, allowing me to settle into a state of mental clarity and a relaxed focus. It wasn’t overwhelming, but it definitely put me in a chill, happy zone where everything felt more engaging and interesting.

After about 20 minutes, the body high began to settle in, wrapping me in a calm, weightless sensation that spread from my shoulders to my legs. The cooling effects of the minty terpenes added a slight tingly feeling, making it even more immersive and enjoyable.

One thing’s for sure—this strain will make you hungry. About 30 minutes in, my appetite kicked into overdrive, and suddenly, every snack in my kitchen sounded like the best idea ever.

The Perfect Pairing: Creative Writing, Chill Beats & a Flavorful Snack

With the high settling in, I put on some lo-fi beats and opened my notebook, letting my thoughts flow effortlessly onto the page.

The sleepy cerebral effects of Gush Mintz kept me chill and creative, while the relaxing body buzz made everything feel easy and unforced.

Since this strain brought on some serious munchies, I prepped a savory, umami-rich snack—parmesan truffle popcorn with a hint of black pepper.

The buttery, nutty parmesan paired perfectly with the sharp, earthy truffle flavor, and the black pepper added a subtle kick that complemented the cool, spicy exhale of Gush Mintz.

Every bite was bursting with flavor, making it one of the most satisfying pairings I’ve had with a strain.

By the time I finished my writing session and the last of my popcorn, I was fully relaxed and ready to head to bed, still riding the steady, long-lasting effects of Gush Mintz.
